Chapter 344: A Man's Struggle

readx;

At this time, Li Tongfan was simply an ant on the induction cooker of the United States, but in order to avoid being affected by the players' panicked expressions, he had to stand motionless on the sidelines to supervise the battle. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

In fact, at this time in the game, it has long been out of the level of technology and tactics, and the fight is willpower and morale, which side can save the essence in the heart to the end, and will be the winner who can finally accept the respect of 10,000 people!

And Lao Li's gesture did increase a lot of momentum for the English players on the field. Seeing the coach standing on the sidelines with confidence and smiling, the hammers suddenly doubled their confidence!

In the eyes of the fans in the stands, the madman Li is so calm and quiet, and his back reveals the momentum of a master, a master, a master, and a master, compared to the German team's [tactician] Loew, who is much worse. Because the handsome uncle was standing in front of the coach's seat at this time, waving, whistling and roaring, he was about to have a bit of a high-level neurotic demeanor!

didn't know that Lao Li was just a bluffing paper tiger at this time!

…… Time passes.

After three minutes of stoppage time, the situation on the pitch heated up.

Steven Downing and Joe Cole, who were on the side of the England team, were originally weak in terms of physical fitness, and according to Li Tongfan's tactical requirements, they had been sprinting and pressing back and forth at the expense of physical strength for 90 minutes, so the physical overdraft was terrible, and the breakthrough of the hand gradually became weak.

And Beckham and Alan Smith in the middle of the two against Ballack and Schweinsteiger and other four German midfielders, even if they are all in a [superhuman state], they have gradually fallen into the upper hand. It is true that the Germans are the most resilient people on the planet, and by this time the Germans had the advantage of being super-resilient, and England were forced to retreat to their own half of the defense!

92nd minute.

Downing was physically exhausted when he broke through with the ball on the left side, and Hitzelsberg, who was forced to be close to him, took advantage of the situation to cut off the football, and directly passed to Schweinsteiger in the front court, and the unguarded piggy unloaded the ball and forced a cross at the first time...... Players from both sides crowded together in the box, and it was Miroslav Klose who grabbed the first point. Kin jumped high near the penalty spot to head the ball into goal, and the ball was followed by Schweinsteiger's huge pass to the right side of the goal...... Li Tongfan, who was standing on the sidelines, had his pupils shrinking suddenly.

Thankfully, Joe Hart once again showed his unrivalled reflexes and bounce when it mattered, scrambling to lift the ball off the line before it swooped into the back of the net...... The exclamations in the buzzing stands are like thousands of flies hovering around the Ernst Happel Stadium, and the scalp of those who listen to it is numb! Three seconds later, the exclamation turned into applause, and the survivors of the disaster England gave thunderous cheers to Joe Hart, the hero who saved the team an unknown number of times...... Germany won a corner.

Li Tongfan raised his wrist to look at his watch, and the whole game was 92 minutes and 43 seconds...... Italian whistle Rossetti has begun to look at his watch frequently, the German team except for the goalkeeper Lehmann all rushed into the England team's penalty area, and the England team did not leave any striker in the midfield driver to counterattack, because the corner kick is expected to end as soon as the game is over...... What worries Lee Tong-beom the most...... Finally appeared!

The three random system mistakes caused by [Curse of the Ball King] are still short of the last one. Since the first two times were fulfilled, and in the most extreme way, the third time is absolutely impossible to avoid, will it really happen at the last second of the game?

It would definitely be the deadliest, most helpless, and most irreparable disaster!

…… Forcing a corner, Schweinsteiger sends the ball out.

The [Europass] drew a wonderful arc, and with the eyes of tens of millions of people, it spun and flew towards the Three Lions in the restricted area.

At this moment, the 22 players on the field, except for the old naughty boy Lehmann, who was leaning on the goal post with a nervous wrinkle on his face, and Schweinsteiger, the piggy who took a corner kick, all the others were concentrated in the England team's penalty area, like two gangsters who were about to fight.

Li Tongfan put his hands in his trouser pockets on the sidelines, seemingly light, but in fact, his hands have twisted the inside of his trouser pockets into twists...... Will the curse come?

Will it come?

Bang!

It was England's centre-back Steven Taylor who grabbed the first point, and he was pushed headlong into the danger zone...... Hu Li Tongfan just wanted to put his heart back in his stomach, and there was a sudden change on the field!

Steven Taylor's header didn't go too far, and the ball drew a small opening in the air and flew towards the penalty arc of the penalty area...... And there, there is a figure in a white battle robe who is bending his bow and arrows and waiting for him!

Lucas Podolski!

Bang!

A stunning shot sent the ball straight through the air like an angry bullet, sending the night breeze from Vienna to the England gate at the intersection of the crossbar and the post............ Lee Tong-beom's eyes darkened............ "Oh, yes-yes!!! Podolsky! gooooooooal……““…… Steven Taylor clears ...... The football flew out of the penalty area...... Woohoo, danger! Podolski grabbed the first spot...... Straight shot? …… Oh God! The ball is in~~~~ The last second lore! …… 3:2, Germany defeated England! ”

…… In the stands.

The Germans fell into madness!

UEFA President Michel Platini has already gotten up and started to shake hands with German Chancellor Mock, Queen Elizabeth of the United Kingdom, FIFA President Blatter and the big names sitting in the VIP box of the rostrum, and then went down to present the award to the champion German team...... That's when ...... The referee's whistle sounded!

It's just a shrill and piercing crisp sound, not the expected two-short and three-long closing note, but ...... What's going on?

There was a buzz at the Ernst Happel Stadium in the midst of chaos, and then it gradually became quiet, and the Italian referee Rossetti trotted all the way into the penalty area, pulled out his shiny yellow card and flashed it into the crowd.................. Whew, what's going on? Referee Rossetti entered the penalty area, did anyone foul? …… Took out the yellow card, to whom? Medsak! Yellow card given to Germany's main centre-back Medsak ......"

“…… Look at the gestures, whoa, whoop...... Rossetti thinks Murdesak has been fouled in the box just now! Angry German players surrounded the referee...... Such a penalty simply sent the German at the top of the ** directly into the eighteenth layer of hell, and the goal was invalid! …… England escaped, the English fans in the stands wept with joy, and I think the British are now eager to worship Rossetti as a god......"

“…… Look at the slow motion, what the hell just happened in the restricted area? …… Look closely, oh oh, that's right, Italian referee Rossetti made a correct decision!! Steven Taylor jumped up for a header and was slammed back from behind by Medsak...... A foul with a bad surname! Rossetti!! His decision will undoubtedly go down in the history of the European Championship! ”

…… Referee Rossetti saved Lee Tong-beom.

Lao Li was so frightened just now, if it weren't for the whistle like a heavenly sound, Lao Li estimated that even if he didn't vomit blood and his soul flew away, he would have to fall on the lawn on the sidelines...... Peak loop turn!

…… on the field.

The story continues.

Italian whistle Rossetti unceremoniously suppressed the revolt of the angry Germans with three yellows and one red, and three yellow cards were given to Balak, Hitzelsberg and Podolski!

Among them, the anger of the "goalscorer" Podolski is the most obvious, if it weren't for his teammate Lahm pulling hard in the back, it is estimated that Prince Porti would not hesitate to give Rossetti a [invincible throat lock] taste. Anyone who is wiped out in the near future that is enough to be recorded in the glory hall of the national team will go crazy...... The red card was directly given to [Master Tactician] Loew.

Because the commander of the Francoic Chariot seemed to be waving his hands on the sidelines, greeting some of the next of the female family of the referee Rossetti in German slang...... It is worth mentioning that Loew ate a red card in the group stage, and with this one, it can be regarded as creating a small record in this European Cup! It's a pity that this record is not very glamorous, and it is difficult to associate it with the usually handsome Loew! It seems that football makes people crazy, and that's true!

…… Soon, the 90-minute game was over.

The Germans came close to winning the throne with two unbelievable luck goals, but the middle finger of the madman Lee shattered all the dreams of the Germans, and the two sides had to play 30 minutes of extra time!

The players did not return to the dressing room, and the coaching staff of both sides completed the tactical set-up for extra-time on the sidelines. The miracle [acupuncture] of the team doctor Ito Yun reappeared in the world after the 06-07 season Champions League final. The players of the England team were originally wet like dead fish fished out of the water, but after a small golden needle prick, they suddenly felt that their physical strength had recovered a lot...... This scene stunned the old madman Venables, and some members of the coaching staff who usually looked lazy and lazy Ito Yun were also dumbfounded, and one by one they grew up and called God directly............ Soon, overtime began.

In the first minute of extra time, Lee Tong-fan replaced three people in one go - James Milner, who can maintain [superhuman form], replaced Downing, Gerrard, the soul of the Red Army, replaced Joe Cole, and Rooney was replaced by Frank Lampard...... However, after the substitution, the Three Lions' 4-1-2-1-2 formation did not change, because Alan Smith was pushed down by Lao Li on the risk!

On the other side of the German team, although due to the "impulsive punishment", the handsome uncle [tactician] Loew was invited to the stands, but fortunately, there are many handsome uncles in the German chariot formation - assistant coach Hans Flick is not inferior to Loew, and the tactical aspect is not bad, and under Loew's remote control, he quickly made tactical adjustments for his surname - Miroslav Klose, the hero of the goal with his face, was replaced by Mario Gomez, the popular fried chicken in the Bundesliga this season, And Hitzelsberg, whose performance was relatively mediocre in the first 90 minutes, was replaced by Bremen midfielder Borowski!

As the game ticked by, the atmosphere at the Ernst Happel Stadium was about to dry smoke!

After the substitution, England sacrificed the ability to break through and sprint on both flanks, but Gerrard, Frank Lampard and James Milner were much better at protecting the middle of the midfield than Joe Cole and Downing, so they gradually turned the game around.

At this time, the benefits of Li Tongfan not letting Shuangde start were reflected. Before the start of the game, although Lao Li did not "plan ahead" to this extent, it is always right to save points.

The advantage on the field made the English fans in the stands as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and the cheers were as tragic and high as the battle of thousands of troops, but Li Tongfan's heart was still not at ease.

Lao Li can't be sure whether the goal that was erased by referee Rossetti at the last moment of the regular season is the last random mistake in [The Curse of the King of the Ball], if not, then everything is not over, and there are still unpredictable dangers and tests waiting for the England team!

This mood lasted until the end of the fifteen-minute first half of extra time.

The score remained at 2:2, and the players on both sides rushed to the sidelines to drink sports drinks while exchanging venues, poured their already wet hair with water, or grabbed thirty or forty seconds to accept the massage of the team doctor...... The whistle sounded.

Immediately after that, the game started soon after the end of overtime!

With fifteen minutes remaining, players from both sides unconsciously played more carefully. Any time you press on the attack, the opponent may seize the opportunity to counterattack, and at such a moment, a goal is enough to decide the life and death of both sides. Although the England team has a slight advantage in physical strength with the help of Ito Yun [acupuncture], the Germans' amazing tenacity makes up for the lack of physical strength, and the unyielding will of the Germans supports them without retreating from the qualification, and everyone is still brave before the cramps in the end!

Every German team is fighting strictly according to the dictates of assistant coach Hans Fulick, and the only belief that underpins this group of venerable fighters is that if they can hold out until the penalty shoot-out, then the fragile psychological quality of the Englishman will definitely be crushed by their own side...... It's a pity that God has long decreed that today's game must play on everyone's nerves!

Therefore, in the 22nd minute of extra time, the whole game was played for 112 minutes, and the scene that stunned the whole world was staged again - a corner kick of the German team.

Schweinsteiger stood in the right corner area and sent the [European Pass] to the back of the penalty area, and it was Steven Taylor who cleared the ball with a header to send the football out of the box, but the next scene dislocated the jaws of more than 40,000 people at the Ernst Happel Stadium...... Because, the scene that happened just twenty-two minutes ago was perfectly simulated!

……“…… Podolsky !! The German commentator shouted frantically as if he had been struck by lightning.

…… Outside the box, it's Podolsky again.

The same location, the same unguarded, the same side did not wait for the football to land and shoot directly, and the same completely ate the part of the football, the same ...... In short, everything is exactly the same except that the ball is hurtling against the ground and hurtling through the gap, rather than the last time, when the ball is curling into the corner...... Bang!

The brave Joe Hart fell to the ground like lightning in a thousandth of a second and stretched out his arm to block, and Podolski's powerful shot was actually blocked by Hart's subconscious save this time...... The applause in the stands had just begun, but it quickly turned into a buzzing exclamation!

Because, although Hart's save blocked the football, it did not get out of the danger zone, and what is even more bizarre is that the football saved by Joe Hart actually smashed into the legs of the England player in the penalty area impartially, and then ...... Then, it actually bounced back to the net...... This time, Joe Hart, who had fallen to the ground and lost his center of gravity, could no longer do anything, and the football rolled into the goal in the opposite direction against the ground...... The strange stuff doesn't end there!

When the broadcast camera focused on the unlucky England guy who accidentally caused an own goal, everyone was shocked to find out that this guy was Alan Smith!

Alan Smith, who has already scored an own goal!

...... [Curse of the Ball King]!

Li Tongfan almost jumped on the sidelines and scolded!

This is definitely the third fucking random mistake of [Curse of the Ball King]!

With less than 10 minutes left in the game, this time it's really a big problem, all the cheating methods have been exhausted, what should I do?

……“…… Incredible! Incredible! Incredible! It's incredible! What do I see? Own goal, own goal again! Why is this so, are all Germans illegitimate children of God? There were three goals in the game, none of which went in the regular way......"

“…… goal… goal… goal… goooooooooal!!! Wow...... 3:2! We were ahead again, haha, the English scored four goals, but now it's Germany who are ahead...... The referee wiped out Lucas' goal in the 90th minute, but the brave Prince Porti won it back...... "The German commentator was excited: "Haha, it was really a fair game......

…… Soon, the game continued.

In addition to the desperate England fans in the stands, in addition to Li Tongfan, who racked his brains to find a solution to the current problem, there was another person who almost gritted a mouthful of steel teeth...... Alan Smith!

Although he gave an assist at the beginning of the game to help England take the lead, he involuntarily scored two own goals and single-handedly buried Newcastle striker Alan Smith in the Three Lions' good situation!

Although Smith was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time, and he was not inherently blamed for both oolongs, Alan Smith blamed himself.

Euro 2008 means to England Smith knows better than anyone that it is the first time the Three Lions have reached the final of the European Championship since their inception, and it is also the first chance for England to win the world heavyweight championship after the home country of the year, and the only chance for the birthplace of football to prove itself to the world!

Just over seventy minutes ago, the Three Lions were still so close to the gleaming Delaunay Cup on the rostrum, and Michael Owen's goal almost took the Englishman less than a millimeter before the trophy, but everything was clearly ruined by their own two oolongs!

The team, the fans, and ...... And the guy standing on the sidelines...... Smith, who was running on the court, couldn't help but turn his head to look at Li Tongfan who was standing on the sidelines. No one knew that the white-haired bad boy was so grateful to that man.

He risked being reviled as a traitor by the Leeds United fans who had always embraced him to join the Red Devils in pursuit of the title, but who knew that Sir Alex Ferguson, whom he regarded as his godfather, would ruthlessly eject him from Old Trafford after an injury...... After that, Smith came to Newcastle in desperation, from a big club to a weak team, and he was already twenty-six or seventeen years old, which basically marked the twilight of Smith's career...... A wrong choice, Smith hated Ferguson, but could not do anything about revenge.

The gap between Newcastle and the Red Devils is like a gap, and no matter how hard he tries, he pales in front of the mighty Vergensen...... Just when even Smith himself was about to give up, the madman Lee came out! This man clad in the glory of mythology, from the legend, it only took ten games to sweep Newcastle away, and also let him and Alan Smith smoothly come out of the shadow of injury and become the hot new generation of strikers in the Premier League...... And Alan Smith finally raised his eyebrows in the penultimate round of Old Trafford in the league, although the protagonist of that game was Juan Mata, but watching the pride on the face of the old man standing in front of Manchester United's command turned to anger and unwillingness, Smith enjoyed the thrill of revenge!

Since then, Smith has fought for the madman Lee alone!

As long as the madman Lee does not take the initiative to sweep him away, Smith is willing to turn into a long sword in the hand of the madman Lee with 100% loyalty to pierce all enemies...... What Lee doesn't know is that this may be the reason why Alan Smith is able to have 100 loyalty points in the FM system.

And then, to Smith's surprise, one after another, he was able to be selected for England again for Euro 2008...... This strengthened Alan Smith's determination to pledge allegiance to the madman Lee. Therefore, when Lee Tong-fan stopped Marchena in the group stage against Spain, he did not hesitate to punch the Valencia central defender...... Because, at that time, Smith, who was closest to him, clearly saw that Li Tongfan's clenched fist was about to be swung, and Smith had no doubt that Li Tongfan would boxing his opponent for Owen, but he knew better that Li Tongfan must not really swing it, and the consequences of doing so would be too serious...... If only a hard beating of Marchena can relieve the madman Lee, then Smith willingly goes to be the one who swings his fist!

After the incident, in the face of media criticism and accusations from Spanish fans, Smith did not regret it in the slightest...... Moreover, even if Li Tongfan expels him from the England team forever, he will not have the slightest resentment. In Smith's view, a man does something and doesn't do anything, but if he forgets to be grateful, he is definitely not as good as a beast...... So, everyone in the world thinks that Smith boxed Marchena for Owen, but in fact, they were all wrong!

Next, what made Smith even more grateful was that in the face of pressure from the world, instead of expelling him, Li Tongfan took all the blame, and actively mediated to finally let him stay in the England team after only paying a three-game ban, and he actually started in the world-famous final...... With such a generous grace, how can you repay it with two own goals?

Absolutely not!

Absolutely not!

…… The time of the game flies.

The applause and cheers of the Germans in the stands grew louder and louder, and as referee Rossetti looked at his watch, Alan Smith looked up at the electronic virtual clock at the Ernst Happel Stadium - 119 minutes and 11 seconds!

With stoppage time and less than two minutes to go, what should I do?

The intense exercise caused Smith to suffer unbearable pain in his chest, as if he had a thousand pounds of weight tied to his feet, and he had not stopped running for two hours since the start of the race...... With each jump of the hands of time, it was as if an invisible drumstick struck Smith's heart...... Boom! Boom!! Boom!!

The sounds in the stadium stands faded away...... The hideous faces of the German defenders blurred...... The rapid shouts and heavy breathing of teammates faded into obscurity...... In Smith's sight, only the thin black figure standing on the sidelines became clearer and taller, and a voice sounded like Huang Zhong Dalu, sounding from Smith's soul: "Atonement, you, must turn the situation around...... But how to reverse it?

...... "Alain, catch the ball ......" in a trance, the voice of captain David Beckham came clearly in his ears, and Alan Smith was shaken...... Hearing, sight, everything becomes normal in an instant!

In front of him, a white arc rushed over...... It was Beckham's pass from the right. Alan Smith didn't hesitate, sprinting forward with his left foot and blasting directly between defenders with his right foot...... Bang!

A soul-shattering sound drowned out the sound of more than 20,000 German fans standing up and shouting the countdown.

A white lightning bolt struck the German goal!
